## 📦 Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a directory for your [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline) MCP servers (if you haven't already):
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Python 3.10 or higher
|
||||
- Git
|
||||
- A Proxmox server with API access
|
||||
|
||||
### Cline Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a directory for your MCP servers:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Cline/MCP

|
||||
mkdir proxmox-config

}
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
Important: Verify your configuration:
|
||||
- Ensure the config file exists at the specified path
|
||||
- The `host` field must be properly set to your Proxmox server's hostname or IP address
|
||||
- You can validate your config by running:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(open('config.json'))['proxmox']['host'])"
|
||||
```
|
||||
- This should print your Proxmox host address. If it prints an empty string or raises an error, your config needs to be fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The server provides these tools:
|
||||
- `get_nodes`: List all nodes in the cluster
|
||||
- `get_node_status`: Get detailed status of a node
|
||||
- `get_vms`: List all VMs
|
||||
- `get_storage`: List available storage
|
||||
- `get_cluster_status`: Get cluster status
|
||||
- `execute_vm_command`: Run commands in VM consoles
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
- Python 3.9 or higher
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Development Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install UV:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install uv
|
||||
4. Add to Cline MCP settings:
|
||||
Edit `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"github.com/canvrno/ProxmoxMCP": {
|
||||

||||
"env": {
|
||||
"PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG": "/absolute/path/to/ProxmoxMCP/proxmox-config/config.json"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"disabled": false,
|
||||
"autoApprove": []
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/canvrno/ProxmoxMCP.git
|
||||
cd proxmox-mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
Important: Replace `/absolute/path/to/ProxmoxMCP` with your actual installation path.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create and activate virtual environment:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create venv
|
||||
uv venv
|
||||
### For Manual Installation
|
||||
|
||||
# Activate venv (Windows)
|
||||

|
||||
# OR Activate venv (Unix/MacOS)
|
||||

|
||||
# OR install only runtime dependencies
|
||||

|
||||
# Install build tools
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# Install package with dev dependencies
|
||||
pip install -e ".[dev]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create configuration:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create config directory
|
||||
mkdir -p proxmox-config
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy example config
|
||||
cp config/config.example.json proxmox-config/config.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit the config with your Proxmox details
|
||||
# See Configuration section below
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verifying Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check Python environment:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python -c "import proxmox_mcp; print('Installation OK')"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run the tests:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pytest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Verify configuration:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Linux/macOS
|
||||
PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG="proxmox-config/config.json" python -m proxmox_mcp.server
|
||||
|
||||
# Windows (PowerShell)
|
||||
$env:PROXMOX_MCP_CONFIG="proxmox-config\config.json"; python -m proxmox_mcp.server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should see either:
|
||||
- A successful connection to your Proxmox server
|
||||
- Or a connection error (if Proxmox details are incorrect)
